It should be immediate. Did it start working with refresh after you
cleared the content, or do you have to use that option each time you
want to see changes? Do you run through any proxy with your ISP that
might be caching the last pages for so many seconds, minutes or hours?

It would probably help if you told us whether the problem is with
a particular URL because "always" may be a bit of an overstatement.
E.g. I think that I have seen cases using frames and iframes when
Ctrl-F5 doesn't refresh *all* content the way we might expect.
In that case, clearing the TIF (or manually deleting all the relevant files)
could produce a different result.
